Letters from Conflict

Through a welcome bundle of poetic correspondence with an international community of artists and poets, a seasoned North Carolina poet and spouse of a U.S. Marine (author of previous collections Uniform, Permanent Change of Station, and FORCES) shares intimate insights and observations on creating history, family, community, and art. "In her engagements with poets from Ireland to India, as well as U.S. military veterans and families, Lisa Stice is an ideal correspondent with art and history," says the publisher. "Stice introduces us to old words and new friends. With the flow and scrawl of her metaphorical pen, she delivers every poet's dream: accessible, illuminating conversations with our world-at-large-including our pasts, presents, and unfolding possibilities."
